Speaking to reporters today, Democratic Secretary of State elect Cisco Aguilar said he has not heard from Republican opponent Jim Marchant

"The way he ran the campaign, the fact that he hid from Nevada voters, I don't expect him to ever have a conversation with me."
More from that interview:

Asked if he saw opportunities for a faster vote count in future elections, Aguilar defended the state's election laws

"Nevada is a 24/7 economy, we have some of the most accessible voting laws in the country"
Asked about "mending bridges" in rural areas over elections, Aguilar said "it requires you to be present, it requires you to listen."

"Unfortunately, my opponent built a false foundation on lies and disinformation. And it's going to take some time to unravel that information."
